Man I'm sorry you're struggling. I went through exactly the same thing here in America. Like you I used to think of my sexuality as a disability. In hindsight that seems fucked up to me now, and really shows how conditioned we are to think that heterosexuality is the only way to be "normal".

Idk if you're a reader, but there's a great book about this exact subject (accepting yourself) called The Velvet Rage. I've seen it recommended before, but I really think it should be required reading for us gays. We all have to go through this process to become healthy emotionally.

It will take time, and personally I'm not finished yet after years of trying. Good friends are important. People that will listen and care about you. Ideally get counseling or therapy from someone who specializes in this if available.

If you can without endangering yourself, try to be "out" as much as you can to your friends, family, and coworkers. Not having to live a mental double life helps.

Whatever you do, don't kill yourself, no matter how hopeless you feel. If you get to that point please go to the hospital. Your situation may seem impossible sometimes, and you will have bad days, but there is always a way forward. Always.

I wish you the best ❤️

No. All purported "treatments" that claim to change any sexual orientaion are Snake oil, with a long history of failure and coverups. There is a reason all the mainstream psychs and therapists wont touch it with a ten foot pole.

The reason is that sexual orientation is mostly biological in origin, explained here in this good article http://www.vocativ.com/312971/scientists-destroy-anti-gay-arguments-about-choice/

Theres also a damn good book, "Gay, Straight and the Reasons Why" which you can pick up on Amazon from 7 bucks, I read this a little after it came out, and you'll find it real enlightening, I know I did http://www.amazon.com/Gay-Straight-Reason-Why-Orientation/dp/0199931585
